TWENTY-SEVENTH 

To  feel  brave,  act  as  though  we

I  have  no  creed  but  love;  is  there  a 
hell 
Where  some  poor  tortured  thing 
cries  out  in  pain?

him  well 
And  wait  until  he  finds  his  heaven 
again.  Rossiter  W^e 


"Hurrah  for  November!  n>e  all  will

For  the  harvest  blessings  that  come 
from  His  love."

Shake  off  the  dew  eind  soar. 

Jean  Ingelow

An  easy  thing,  O  Power  Divine, 
To  thank  Thee   for  these  gifts  of

SEVENTEENTH 

I  am  startled  that  God  can  make 
me  so  rich  even  with  my  own  cheap

straw  in  the  sun,  some  small  word 
dropped,  or  that  has  long  lain  silent 
in  a  book.  Thoreau 

EIGHTEENTH 

"It  isn  *t  the  thing  that  you  do,  dear, 

But  the  thing  that  you  leave  un- 
done. 
Which  gives  you  the  bitter  heartache 

At  the  setting  of  the  sun, — 
The  tender  word  forgotten. 

The  letter  you  did  not  write. 
The  flowers  you  did  not  send,  dear. 

Are    your    haunting    ghosts    to- 
night."

I  know  that  love  is  never  wasted.
